I had thought before I visited the website that the guitars that would all be in the 1-2 thousand range. I was impressed with the $650 price tag on the S2.6 C guitar. Good on Ola for making an *_affordable_* guitar.
As soon as you announced the company I went to check them out with your reputation and knowledge of the instrument from I what I have seen over the last few years on your channel I’m definitely picking one up!
Dude, could you compare your highest-end Solar to something like a high end Ibanez or ESP that’s double the price of yours? What’s the main differences, if any? I love you man...seriously, I wanna have a beer with you someday!
Ibanez is making guitars in Indonesia. Jackson is making guitars in Indonesia. Chapman is making guitars in Indonesia. Now Solar. Its time for people to stop sleeping on Indonesian guitars. They make good shit.
imdartson A UK acoustic brand called Faith make all their guitars their. Best guitars in their price range by far. So yes Indonesia is great for me the new Korea.
"Its time for people to stop sleeping on Indonesian guitars" The only ones sleeping on them are the starved, sickly overworked Indonesian factory-workers, and they can be excused for falling out - just as we all would at the end of an 18 hour shift.
Many brands make guitars in Indonesia, but cheaper ones. Chapman's pro series are equally priced and some even cheaper than the top solar models, but they are made in Korea,superior to Indonesia by any standard, and come with both stainless steel frets and hardcase. Point is, many of these Solar guitars are overpriced. Cool guitars though.
Congrats on your new venture Ola. As a lefty, i look forward to when you will be able to accommodate us difficult buggers...in the meantime, i shall attempt to be patient and i wish you every success.
Love your shirt, Ola! the last ninja was one of the greatest games on C64 and the soundtrack of both the first and the second game rule to this day. Definitely an ear-worm...
Your shirt is awesome ... The Last Ninja was one of the coolest video game ever ! ... btw i will take a look at your site, those guitars looks like very nice
For the next FAQ: 1. Thats not a question but I NEED AN 8STRING V 2. Wouldnt it be cool if there was an semi-custom guitar brand in europe? It just makes sense. There are so many pickups woods etc. out there and everbody has a different taste.
When custom shop becomes a thing could I get a V series with a graphic finish of you giving two thumbs up with some goofy wide eyed smile and have you underline the "Ola" in Solar and write next to it "ME" in sharpie??
The guitars look stealth and well built, i would trust Ola on these for sure, just look at his youtube history and that tells you he is definitely well knowledged on alot of guitars and would take certain aspects of other builds into consideration, Im waiting for a custom line to be introduced with Solar as i do trust this company solidly,
Kewl. I'm definitely willing to wait for a left handed model because I know when they do arrive it will be worth the time and patience. The left handed guitar community thanks you!
Are the guitars made by cort? I love cort and how they made guitars (iirc washburns mii are made by cort and so are jackson pro series) i really hope that's the case and hope that one of the local stores makes a deal to carry solar guitars!
Plans on making some more unique looking models? Most brands carry Strat shaped guitars, while they are very pouplar and sell well would you concider something like a Xiphos, Warrior or Ironbird shape in the future?
Would it be a 7 string Type E?, Or a Floyd Rose Type E? (Not to push you Ola, i have very big expectations and hopes in Solar since i subscribed to your channel and listened to your music, I'm definitely trying one when i got the money)
When you say patience, do you mean 2000000 years before a lefty model or like 6 months to 1 year, also definetly include all or most of the sharp guitars as lefties since lefties barely get sharp guitars
Will you make expensive models with woods like master grade whatever top? Is it possible to try Solar Guitars? Why Solar guitars is based in Spain? Is your DxRacer chair worth its price and is it comfortable when you play guitar? Is earth flat?
will we see the current colours offered on more models? a1, 7 in blood red plz. another q, would you possibly be interested in helping another starting youtube guy post reviews and playthrus of your product? also what would you compare your neck shape to?
Will be there more 7 string models in the near future? So far there are only two. I'm planning to buy a 7 string these weeks and I'm considering Solar as well.
Ola, just picked up one of your Washburn guitars, only had it a few days but I love it! I’ll def be looking at your Solar line next! (I’m ready to check out The Haunted, can you recommend a good entry album for your band?)
I really love the name of the guitars . A1.6 , E2.6...I love chess, excel sheets, maths equations and making bulletpoints on powerpoint, these names are so sexy to me !
Making a serious 8 string with at least 29" scale length and evertune would set Solar apart from many other brands. There is very few such models out atm but the demand is rising in my view.
IMPORTANT. We need some new great ML shaped guitars. ML Stealth would be even better imo. Plz make it happen. I would for sure buy new ML guitars from your company
HateCreation i actually picked up this 34 inch guitar from fender, but it only has 4 strings for some reason... DEFIANTLY low tho like a whole octaves low.
Gotta be honest, the MII tag has me a little wary. Im probably just unlucky, but I’ve had much better experiences with MIK guitars when it comes to playing imported guitars. But hey if there’s any MII models that i want to prove me wrong, it’s these Solars coz the specs and aesthetics seem awesome and I trust your taste and vision!
I'm from indonesia by the way. Can I get this solar guitar here? Do you distributed these guitar at indonesia? Or I must order from another country? Thanks.
Do the guitars run on Solar energy? What's Elon Musk's opinion on these guitars?
Mert Kesim 1/10 - NOT ENOUGH WATER
Mert Kesim nbr cnm
That background music is brutal, new Feared track?
I had thought before I visited the website that the guitars that would all be in the 1-2 thousand range. I was impressed with the $650 price tag on the S2.6 C guitar. Good on Ola for making an *_affordable_* guitar.
And they are affordable with one of the best wood bodies of Alder. You won't find guitars from other companies in that price range with that wood.
Can you make a Solar Otamatone
With a market flooded with guitar builders, I wish you all the luck.
Already ordered mine. I don’t need to ask any silly questions.
I might go just for this reason :)
You could easily dominate the market on 6 string baritones/production multi-scales
Cheers Ola!
Dude... You have got a good thing going here, these guitars look amazing and you should be proud.
I love the SD Custom 5. Most underrated pickup in their lineup imo.
DomSchu Yeah, indeed! Awesome bridge pickup! \m/
It has huge chords and still very clean and clear sounding. Love!!
Hey ola!
What of us bassists? Eventually when the ball is rolling do you plan on making bass models?
iamtheSK1NW4lK3R YES.. Thought the same thing.
Was gonna ask the same thing!
Still waiting 😢 but I don't mind waiting. I'm a new bassist, so I'll wait till I'm good to spend on a Solar Bass.
Can't wait until I'm able to have the money to purchase one. I love all of the design and am looking forward to support the brand!
As soon as you announced the company I went to check them out with your reputation and knowledge of the instrument from I what I have seen over the last few years on your channel I’m definitely picking one up!
will there be a one string guitar for beginners?
In other words, a "djent stick" guitar.
If you send me your guitar I can convert it for $50
That guitar should be called the S0lar
Dude, could you compare your highest-end Solar to something like a high end Ibanez or ESP that’s double the price of yours? What’s the main differences, if any? I love you man...seriously, I wanna have a beer with you someday!
Very excited for you Ola, this is huge and you're doing this your own way which is a blessing for sure. Best of luck!
What about hardcases? Where can i buy a hardcase that will fit perfectly with the different solar moddels
I'm very proud that my country, Indonesia, has made a lot of good guitar from a lot of good brand, including, Solar.
Ibanez is making guitars in Indonesia. Jackson is making guitars in Indonesia. Chapman is making guitars in Indonesia. Now Solar. Its time for people to stop sleeping on Indonesian guitars. They make good shit.
imdartson A UK acoustic brand called Faith make all their guitars their. Best guitars in their price range by far. So yes Indonesia is great for me the new Korea.
Much of ESP's LTD line is made there too and they're excellent instruments.
I own a Schecter and a Jackson, both from indonesia and both are great instruments. Better than my Gibson that cost twice as much 🤣
"Its time for people to stop sleeping on Indonesian guitars"
The only ones sleeping on them are the starved, sickly overworked Indonesian factory-workers, and they can be excused for falling out - just as we all would at the end of an 18 hour shift.

Oh man! You guys do shipping to Brazil. I'm so excited!!
Will there be a booth at the Musikmesse? So that there is finally something new to look up??
Congrats on your new venture Ola. As a lefty, i look forward to when you will be able to accommodate us difficult buggers...in the meantime, i shall attempt to be patient and i wish you every success.
This is old, wow you’ve come a long way ola
Love your shirt, Ola! the last ninja was one of the greatest games on C64 and the soundtrack of both the first and the second game rule to this day. Definitely an ear-worm...
Good luck Ola it's a brave move to do what you are doing. I hope it really goes off and is successful for you.
Nice! Let him breath a bit, guys. He cant offer it all from start up. Noone did. keep it cool guys
Congratulations Ola! I'm so happy for you, I wish you well with this endevour. As a Lefty, I can't wait to see what you will offer us in the future.
I would totally buy a Solar Wangcaster in fleshburst finish! I'm Super excited for what the future holds for your company Ola!
I believe I am going to get one. I need the Super strat version ! seems to be a pure, as we say in France, "avion de chasse"
Ola,maybe a stupid question but- in which tuning do the evertune Solars come in? E standard?
Looking forward to trying them out Ola. Best of luck!
hi, good luck with your new brand! wish you all the best
It is amazing what you’re doing!! A total inspiration.. hopefully me and my band become a Solar artist!! Congrats on this man!!
It takes a ton of courage to start a guitar company. I honestly think Ola is gonna kill it.
Your shirt is awesome ... The Last Ninja was one of the coolest video game ever ! ... btw i will take a look at your site, those guitars looks like very nice
A matching “flight case” to keep the guitar nice and safe would be a great option.
I LOOOOOOVe that you made some Evertune guitars that look KILLER and sound AWESOME. GREAT JOB MY MAN. Can't wait to pick one up.
For the next FAQ:
1. Thats not a question but I NEED AN 8STRING V
2. Wouldnt it be cool if there was an semi-custom guitar brand in europe? It just makes sense. There are so many pickups woods etc. out there and everbody has a different taste.
Ola, congrats on your new business and good luck! Great guitars!
This is really impressive to be fair, ola will be driving a Lambo soon for sure! He’s a genius.
This video was seriously helpful...thanks Ola, now to choose my new Solar 7 string
I may have mentioned this before but Ola could quite possibly be the coolest dude on the planet
Darren C Partially due to living in a cold climate
John Newton nice. yes Ola's global position does give him that extra edge.
Most important question: Where did you get that sick af "The Last Ninja" shirt?!?! I loved that game! :-D
Dude, The Last Ninja was my favourite game on C64 when I was a kid. GG
When custom shop becomes a thing could I get a V series with a graphic finish of you giving two thumbs up with some goofy wide eyed smile and have you underline the "Ola" in Solar and write next to it "ME" in sharpie??
The guitars look stealth and well built, i would trust Ola on these for sure, just look at his youtube history and that tells you he is definitely well knowledged on alot of guitars and would take certain aspects of other builds into consideration,
Im waiting for a custom line to be introduced with Solar as i do trust this company solidly,
Your guitars look amazing Ola! Congratulations. I hope your company does well.
Was the theme music on this video played with the Otamatone, also these guitars look killer ola Good Luck with them
Interested to see what left handed models are put out if they ever are...I hope more than one model and not at a stupid jacked price....Cheers Ola
I'm watching this video a second time just because of the background music.
Instant like, new favourite youtuber! love you!
Kewl. I'm definitely willing to wait for a left handed model because I know when they do arrive it will be worth the time and patience. The left handed guitar community thanks you!
Are the guitars made by cort? I love cort and how they made guitars (iirc washburns mii are made by cort and so are jackson pro series) i really hope that's the case and hope that one of the local stores makes a deal to carry solar guitars!
All I want is a neck through V with a Hipshot fixed bridge.
Love the shirt! Takes me back to my C64 days.
Will definitely get one of these before 2019!
Plans on making some more unique looking models? Most brands carry Strat shaped guitars, while they are very pouplar and sell well would you concider something like a Xiphos, Warrior or Ironbird shape in the future?
👍 cool!!! definatly want that V in lefty
Would it be a 7 string Type E?, Or a Floyd Rose Type E? (Not to push you Ola, i have very big expectations and hopes in Solar since i subscribed to your channel and listened to your music, I'm definitely trying one when i got the money)
will there be a 7 string with a floyd and 26.5 scale? that would be sick!
When you say patience, do you mean 2000000 years before a lefty model or like 6 months to 1 year, also definetly include all or most of the sharp guitars as lefties since lefties barely get sharp guitars
Will you make expensive models with woods like master grade whatever top?
Is it possible to try Solar Guitars?
Why Solar guitars is based in Spain?
Is your DxRacer chair worth its price and is it comfortable when you play guitar?
Is earth flat?
will we see the current colours offered on more models? a1, 7 in blood red plz.
another q, would you possibly be interested in helping another starting youtube guy post reviews and playthrus of your product?
also what would you compare your neck shape to?
Will be there more 7 string models in the near future? So far there are only two. I'm planning to buy a 7 string these weeks and I'm considering Solar as well.
Ola, just picked up one of your Washburn guitars, only had it a few days but I love it! I’ll def be looking at your Solar line next! (I’m ready to check out The Haunted, can you recommend a good entry album for your band?)
I really love the name of the guitars . A1.6 , E2.6...I love chess, excel sheets, maths equations and making bulletpoints on powerpoint, these names are so sexy to me !
What about a 17 string with a fat doosh with peacock hair to market it?
Hi Ola. I Was just wondering why u dont work with Jeff Hughell anymore?
Hey Ola ! Best Luck for your Company , one short question : Is it possible to tune the baritone models up to standard tuning ?
with lighter strings... ofcourse :)
What is the neck width at the first fret ? non of the guitars has this info in the specs
Ideal Baritone expectation from Solar:
1) Stainless steel
2) 28" scale length
3) 6 string (not 7,8)
4) Evertune bridge
What did you do with your Washburn solar guitars? Did you sell them? Have them rebranded?
I looked on the website and there isn't any specification for the radius of any of the guitars. What are they?
When can I get my 6 neck Batio style guitar in pink sparkle with built in effects controlled by d-beams? thanks xoxoxox
Hi Ola, any plans of making the duncan Solar pickups available separately? Thanks a lot !
Please post pictures of the back side of S1.6ET LTD
I am really interested in buying one of your left handed guitars but are they set up? And should i buy it to thomann or on your site?
Any plans on doing multi-scale guitars?
Making a serious 8 string with at least 29" scale length and evertune would set Solar apart from many other brands. There is very few such models out atm but the demand is rising in my view.
Also, I think it would be a great idea to lend the biggest youtubers a guitar each for reviews and demos.
for the "how do i become a solar guitars artist", does it increase the chances of getting there if you already own a washburn solar? haha
Do you think you could make a left handed multiscale guitar for less than 1000$?
How different are these Solar guitars from the washburn Solars? I have a 160C and wonder if theres a reason to upgrade at some point
will there be fanned fret guitars maybe a 7 string ex with 25.5 to 27 and a hipshot bridge :D
Hej Ola! Hur Mår du?
Ik it says America but I'm swedish myself as well
Looking for a baritone! What kind do u offer?
Song please?
Yo! I've seen you've playing these for ages now! How long have you been designing and producing them?
Are there any plans to eventually make basses?
IMPORTANT. We need some new great ML shaped guitars. ML Stealth would be even better imo. Plz make it happen. I would for sure buy new ML guitars from your company
[Q] Is it possible to choose different stringbrands and sizes for the initial setup before shipping?
XXLDistortsion lol just buy thr strings yourself. And set it up yourself
stay calm its just a question. this would be a nice service
Hola Ola! What do you think of making some nice Solar basses?
Ola! How do you feel about your new guitar brand?
How soon can we expect you to have a custom shop?
Hi Ola!
What about Solar basses? Have you considered this?
When there will be a lefthanded Solar I'll demo it 😊
According to the solar hp the company is located in spain. Any reasons why? Tax?
Will there be 'more extreme baritone guitars? Like 28 or even 29-30 inch scales? I love to tune really low and so do a lot of others.
HateCreation i actually picked up this 34 inch guitar from fender, but it only has 4 strings for some reason... DEFIANTLY low tho like a whole octaves low.
ad1170 horse eye covers
They're called Blinkers/blinder... but alright
This
Would love him to make some 27.5 or 28.5 inch 7s and 8s, or 6s too
Gotta be honest, the MII tag has me a little wary. Im probably just unlucky, but I’ve had much better experiences with MIK guitars when it comes to playing imported guitars.
But hey if there’s any MII models that i want to prove me wrong, it’s these Solars coz the specs and aesthetics seem awesome and I trust your taste and vision!
Hi，OLA.In your MarkV video，master volume always off，why？
Please make an affordable explorer!
I'm from indonesia by the way.
Can I get this solar guitar here?
Do you distributed these guitar at indonesia?
Or I must order from another country?
Thanks.
Will you make a guitar in stock tuning of 3 octaves below E standard and call it the SO)))lar
